The maximum speed with which a person is able to run depends on the speed of movement of the muscles of his legs.
Scientists and researchers can calculate the maximum speed of a person only when running 100 or 200 meters.
So, the record holder Usain Bolt developed the highest speed - 44.7 km / h.
The athlete is rightfully recognized as the fastest person in the world. He ran 100 meters in 9.58 seconds.
Throughout the 20th century, more than one running record was set. But, runner Bolt broke all the established records.
Modern researchers in their work “The biological limit of running speed ...” argue that a person can accelerate to 65 km per hour.
They found that human limbs are capable of pushing forces greater (from 360 to 450 kg with one foot) than those that we see in a straight run.
What characteristics affect speed?
It:
- Past illnesses. They leave an imprint on our body, slowing down our speed.
- Leg length. It is the long legs that will help accelerate when running.
- Body weight. The more a person is overweight, the harder it will be to run. In addition, it will even be dangerous to health.
- Genetics. Here we are talking about the speed of metabolic processes, muscle recovery, endurance, etc.
All these indicators affect what speed you can develop. Take good care of your health!
It is worth mentioning that if you want to run for health, then slow running is considered health.
And what do you think, at what speed is it better for an ordinary person to run?
